Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Case XX Bowie Knife: I Had No Idea

[align:left][/align]
The original light brown/tan box had word "BOWIE" in lower right corner. NIB sample sold for $245 on GI, someone got quite knife for relatively small investment of cash.😎

When my cousin bought it, I remember thinking the etching of the bear on the side of the blade was a little tacky. Now I think it's kitschy.

Now THAT'S a knoif!!!!!!!

Question for case expert. Not about the Bowie. When I was 17 years old in the year 1970 I was staying with my brother in Alaska. I found a Case knife with xxx on it. It was so hard we never did get it sharp. Were these common or rare? Just curious. Edk

A Buck Bowie.

You guys are a bad influence

Just ordered an ESEE 4 and a Gibson Hatchet

This was up for sale for $350.00 on eBay. I figured, just for the heck of it, I'd offer $250.00. I was sure I'd be turned down, since my offer was so south of the asking price. Lo and behold, he immediately accepted my offer, and it's on its way.



PS It was listed as a Case Kodiak Bowie Knife.

"NOS Rare CASE XX Handmade USA Kodiak Bowie Knife 11" w/ Stag Handle & Original Sheath"

Quite a few. Buck now refers to a 119 as a clip point

But it used to be referred to as a bowie style and occasionally still is:
